about the "Society of Friends", the Quakers, commending the religious community as having "the highest moral standards", having never made any "evil compromises", and that their influence "seems to me to be very beneficial and effective"; he also denied the contradiction that Chapple discerned in an earlier letter, since "the rules applying to a pioneering moral elite can not be expected to be followed by the rank and file"
